Really Big Things It just wouldn't be a NAMM show without some Really Big Thing. In this case it's a stuffed grizzly bear on the corner of the Grizzly Industrial booth. |
Big Bend's Nut Sauce Yes, you read that right, what you see here is "The Original Nut and Saddle Sauce". I suspect it's for guitars but I was afraid to ask. BIG BENDS LLC |

Zinky Amps What could be more dope than an amp covered in crushed velvet? I think Zinky's got some pimp fixation since their other amps are called the Superfly and the MoFo. Zinky Electronics |
Silk Road Round Amp Yeah, it's a tweed amplifier, that's, well… round. Changzhou linyin Electron Co., Ltd |

Flying V Chair Unfortunately these are not for sale. They were made custom for this company to use at their trade show booth. Then again, maybe it's not so unfortunate. |
FreeFloat This is a simple but effective system for mechanically isolating turntables. FreeFloat |

Guitar Clocks For the guitar player that has everything. Wait a minute, it's impossible for a guitar player to have everything. These web pages prove that. Aside from clocks with guitar neck pendulums, this company makes some interesting pick guards. Pick Guard FX |
The Hempcone Who would have thought that the idea to make speaker cones out of hemp would have come from a Bay Area company? They've just developed a 10" bass cone so let all your rasta bass player friends know. This company really should hook up with Ashdown and have them load up their Chronic amp with these cones. A Brown Soun, Inc. |

Ernie Ball Dude The Ernie Ball booth is always a circus, often literally. Among other things they had a custom painted car with this attractive fellow behind the wheel. Ernie Ball |

Magic Sing Microphone Now you can have a karaoke system in the palm of your hand complete with audio and video output. On the packaging there's an endorsement from Deborah Gibson, you know, that famous singer on the Magic Sing Microphone box. Joeun enterprises, Inc. |
Assault Bass The Armando Custom Case company was displaying a case that they'd made for a very unique instrument. It's a 5-string bass made by a luthier from Belize named Roque Batty. This thing even has a tageting laser built into the scope that you turn on by pulling the trigger. I'd like to see what the TSA would make of this at the airport security checkpoint. RBGuitars |

Bullet Strap If you own an assault bass then there can only be one choice for a strap. Ram Concert Gear |
Bil-Lite Satisfy your inner spelunker by clipping one of these guys to the bill of your baseball cap. There's even a fiber optic attachment that snaps on to the end of this and hangs about 8" off the front that will make you look like one of those deep sea Anglerfish. Q Lighting, Inc. |

Suzuki Mime Someone at Suzuki decided that it would be a great idea to hire a mime to strike rock and roll poses in order to draw attention to their guitars. I don't know that it will result in any sales but they secured themselves a spot in the NAMM Oddities. Suzuki Music |
